The case therefore is as plain as
daylight. Ministers took office to
give effect to the demands of the
popular meeting or resign if they
could not carry out that policy, and
let the King take the consequences;
and the King on his part, made
specific pledge to submit the matter
to his new Cabinet and abide by
their decision. That is an obliga-
ton upon him which he cannot set
aside except by the fragrant comm.
vance of his Cabinet. Just what
has happened it is impossible to
say, but the Gazette" insinuates
that the King has broken faith.
There is no proof of this, no reason
to suppose it true, and it is an inn

OPIUM.

The views of this paper on the
Opium question are well known to
those who have been its regular
readers for The past twelve months.
We see no reason for modifying the
opinions frequently advanced in our
editorial columns, prior to the pass
age of the Act legalizing the sale OF
opium in this Kingdom. We are
quite aware that plausible arguments
may be, and have been, adduced on
the other side; but their weight is
much lighter than the arguments
and facts in opposition. We hold
that opium is an evil, an unmiXed
evil, without one redeeming feature.
And if so, intelligent and just legis-
lation can no more tolerate it than it
can tolerate murder. The argu-
ment, that because it cannot be
cured it should be regulated by law,
might be applied to the crime of
murder with as much reason and
force. But who says that because
murder cannot be entirely prevent
ed, it should therefore be made
legal within certain prescribed
limits? Respecting the question of
revenue, we cannot admit that
government is justified in resorting
to illegitimate means for the pur-
pose of procuring money, however
much the cash may be needed.
Then that pet argument of opium
advocates. that licensing the drug
puts an end to smuggling, is so
fallaclous that one wonders they do
not drop it. 1t is only the other
week that big ssizure of opium
was made here iR Honolulu, while
being struggled; and yet ito sale is
licensed. The higher the cost of
the license, the higher the selling
price of the article licensed; and
the higher the selling price of the
article licensed, the greater the
temptation to smuggle. The man
who imports legally and sells under
costly license, can always be
undersold by the man who imports
clandestinely and sells WITHOUT a
license.

average speed of the pen is from Is to
20 words per minute, and the average
